Just about to fit my new N75 valve and noticed the hose going from the valve to the y-pipe has a split in it

I've heard the N75 valve can be awkward to reconnect, so I was wondering, should I replace the hose with a new OEM one, or would a longer length of hose help?

 

I put a longer one in when I did mine.

 

Did you keep the original hose?
Did you retain the 90* elbow?

What kind of hose did you use?

I noticed the only part of the N75 hosing that had a hose clip in place was the end which attaches to the y-pipe. Do the other hoses need a hose clip or not?

 

I used a 6 inch piece of regular vacuum hose, put a "pigtail" in it, so I have a little room to remove the valve and disconnect the hose easier. I put zipties on EVERY hose I could see. If that hose pops off, you're in big trouble.

 

Nice, thanks

 

and that hose can be dangerous if not changed... so good find...

 

Done - All is good

 

I wish my fix was this easy

 

Yazz - If it makes you feel better, I'm still drilling into my cylinder head because my exhaust manifold bolts sheared off into it

 

Hope u get that sorted mate!! I cant sit still for one minute, im constantly sitting then standing, researching on here and the internet, looking for a way to get this damn pipe off and the snapped bit out the tank hole. My mechanic will come down one day in the week and sort it in 10mins but i just want it done!! Its the only thing that needs doing then i can get mapped from TODd!!! AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGHHHH!!
